Animal Cracker Circus is only slightly amusing
tavm12 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I saw a slightly altered version on YouTube when the toddler was singing different words than the ones in "Animal Crackers in My Soup" with different music (though in the later "Animal Cracker Circus" sequence, an instrumental version of that is playing). He refuses to eat his spinach and had fed some of it to the dog before the cracker ringmaster promises a show if he finishes it. He does and the show starts. A highlight is when the cracker lions dance to the tune I just mentioned. One of the lions comes down from the table and chases and bites the dog who feels pain when that happens! As the dog and toddler go to bed together, that cracker lion is still chasing them as we iris out...Pretty good animation with some interesting sequences involving the animal (and some human) crackers but there's hardly a plot here and it's slightly amusing with no big payoff. Worth a look for anyone interested in the obscure Columbia cartoons.
